I know the wrong vehicle, but: The TR3 has one. It's a slight indent into the sheet metal with a small ledge. Mounted just to the right is the dip switch. Rocking one's foot to the right activates th

Yeah, on the B the dip switch is exactly where you would want a dead pedal. Unless you have the seat back for elbow room and your foot can't even reach the dip switch without a stretch. Anyway, you'd

If the problem is that the gas pedal is too high, not too narrow, then there is a gas pedal adjustment bolt that is in the bulkhead. It's a 7/16" head bolt (1/4 nf) that goes into a nut welded to the

Larry Colen SEZ - This adjustment is also a life saver if your throttle cable breaks (as mine did) out in the proverbial middle of nowhere. Just reconnect the cable and adjust the pedal down until yo

Now I'm beginning to wonder if the original poster had a problem with his brakes. In my 66, the brake pedal at full depression is still slightly higher than the throttle pedal. Wasn't he complaining

As the original poster, yes, that was exactly what I was complaining about. The reason why I didn't IMMEDIATELY think of a brake adjustment is because the pedal feels very firm, the brakes stop the

It sounds like your pedals are about where they are supposed to be. The 68-74 MGB was always noted for not having a good pedal setup. I got into the habit of kinda rolling my foot sideways to catch

Yes, that's the same technique I use. In fact, I have never understood how ANYONE could actually use their heel and their toe to match revs on ANY car! Maybe it's just my big dogs that are to blame,

That is a very good point Max, I've never had a problem either. I do recall him saying that the pedal was solid so maybe the pushrod hole or the pedal hole are elongated or possibly the clevis pin is

I install a successful dead pedal in all my B's. I use a piece of wood sized so it will reach the firewall, approximately 5-6" long. 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" is ideal, but 3/4" thickness will work. Leave the
